Overlooking the outlet of a newly created backwater chute at the Camp Ashland Training Site, NE. The lower Platte River is located in the
background and it is anticipated over time there will be periods of high
water events from ice jams and Spring rainfall. These high water events and
ice will help naturally widen the inlet and scour the existing bank line
creating habitat for all wildlife, fish spawning and sediment nutrient
exchange between the lower Platte River and floodplain that will benefit
wildlife species that utilize this area.
